| Kai's verdict | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. |
